Hey guys, if you like word games, you might enjoy Lexispell. It's a cozy roguelike word game with a physics twist. You spell words, pick upgrades and consumables and try to score enough points to progress to the next step.

I'm currently running a playtest on Steam and you can request access. If you really want to play, please send me a DM, I'll give you an override key so you don't have to wait to be selected.

I'm developing the game on Linux so I know it works well but I'd love to get more people to try it and give me feedback! It works well on the Steam deck too (touchscreen, mouse or gamepad).

hi, I've been using Linux, namely Nobara for a few months now and have been loving the experience, but i still dualboot because i like to play league sometimes.

here's the question: is it possible to play via an emulator with reasonable performance? has anyone tried that before?

EDIT: i meant virtual machine instead of emulator, mb

So I recently tried to launch Monster Hunter Wilds and I have had mixed results. When the game would first compile ingame shaders it would work perfectly fine. However trying to launch the game afterwards would result:

1. The window would appear (black screen)

2. Steam overlay displays

3. The window attempts to resize to my monitor

4. After a couple of seconds on the black screen (frozen) the game would crash

System Specs:

12th Gen i7

Rx 9070 xt

32 GB RAM

2 TB ssd

Distro: bazzite:stable Linux 6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64

Launch Options: (tried with and without)

PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 %command%

Proton Version:

GE-Proton10-25

I messed around too much and I got hit with the Denuvo timeout of 24 hours. Anything I should try after 24 hours? (I plan to upload my proton logs when I can) Thank you.

I don't think the comparison makes sense nor the person making the meme strike me as an intellectual person.

graceborne alpha 0.2 just released which requires the use of a .bat file to launch. without it, the game doesn't load sounds, music or enemy replacements properly among many other things. i've tried just adding the .bat file as a non steam game but it just opens the wine console menu and crashes. folks on steamos on the steam deck have informed me that it's working for them, but im on cachyos and am using elden proton which works for everything but this. i can't make issues on their github for some reason so im forced to ask for help here. anyone been able to get this working on distros other than steamos?

Hi guys, I am in the process of converting all my devices to Linux and totally daily driving it. Most of my games and apps have been replaced and are working on Linux. Well I now need to find an alternative to Voicemeeter. I need to be able to route my mic to different channels and put sound of my app through it(like Spotify or my Web Browser). I tried Pulsemeeter and Jackd. While they were alternatives to Voicemeeter, I had no success achieving what I wanted.

I want to know if this thing is possible on Linux? What are your software recommendations? Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help in advance, really happy to be in the freedom community.

Oh and also side note: I use arch btw(if that can be godd info to help me).

People really should stop seeing SteamOS as the Holy Grail of Linux Gaming. There will never be an official universal ISO for all devices, that should pretty much be clear by now. Valve wants certified devices like their own and devices like the Lenovo Legion Go S. Valve isn't a company with thousands of employees that could handle the maintenance of a project like that, optimizing SteamOS so it could fully run on any hardware without any issues.

If people really want good support, they should stick to Valve's recommendations. And if you really just want the experience, stick to Bazzite, choose CachyOS for more freedom or maybe just try something new and learn how to use Linux. You can get the entire SteamOS experience if you just choose any distro and look up how to do it, it is not that hard.

And a good life advice: If you want everything chewed up for you in your life, you will pretty much end bad.

My setup consists of a home theater receiver connected via HDMI to my GPU for 5.1 audio output. Under Windows it keeps the receiver from going into sleep/low power mode by, and I assume, sending a constant what I'll call null/silent audio stream to the device. Linux doesn't do this, which is fine, but is there any way I can replicate the behavior so I don't have a good 2-4 seconds of silence when I let audio lapse?

I've played around with doing this:

pw-cat --playback \ --target alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-surround-extra1 \ --rate 48000 --channels 2 --format s16 \ --raw /dev/zero

but it doesn't seem to recover if other audio streams play over top of it and I'm not sure what the CPU hit is.

GPU in question is Nvidia if that matters.

Edit: OS is CachyOS but I can translate to pretty much any distro. Pipewire is the audio subsystem in use.

Hello! Recently I've been seriously considering upgrading my CPU from AM4 to 5 because I wasn't getting the performance I wanted and I thought about dual booting while I was at it.

Before I even considered parts I decided I had an external hard drive so I wanted to try dual booting first just to try it out. I downloaded CachyOS and it took me a second to get everything started and I tried 2 games. RV There Yet? And ARC Raiders

My machine has a 5900X CPU and a 4070S GPU with 64GB of RAM

RV There Yet? On windows I was rapidly bouncing back between 40FPS and 70FPS and ARC Raiders was roughly 55-60FPS

Switching to CachyOS I was getting 110FPS on RV There Yet? And 120FPS on ARC. Is Windows really that bad that switching gave me double the FPS or am I missing something in windows? I did do a fresh install of windows roughly 6 months ago to try and improve performance and it didn't really help me much so I'm just more so astounded at Linux.

My PC has a RX 9070 XT and runs Cachyos and I am trying to use FSR 4 in MGS Delta (if possible). MGS Delta has a FSR option in its settings but it doesn’t specify which version. With proton-cachyos and proton-ge I’ve tried PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 and it doesn’t seem to work (I don’t see the FSR 4 indicator when I use the appropriate proton environment variable). I’ve tried the configuration above with Marvel Rivals and it worked but it did not work with MGS Delta. So is it not possible to use FSR 4 upgrade with MGS Delta or is there something else I can do?

First: English is not my first language, so pardon any grammar mistakes.

Hello guys. I'm giving up. I can't find a way to complete my Mini PC setup. Anyone who knows how to solve EmuDeck/Steam things?

To avoid some obvious answers, I have an Lenovo Mini PC. It uses an Intel Core i5-8500T, and I've put a GT1030 in it AND IT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY GPU I'VE FOUND IN MY -ENTIRE- COUNTRY that would fit in it. IT'S -IMPOSSIBLE- TO CHANGE IT. And my problem is NOT ABOUT IT.

Anyway, my first try with building that emulation PC was ChimeraOS. After a lot of work, I was able to get everything ALMOST working, but since the performance was not good on PS2 games, I had to make the GPU upgrade.

Unfortunately, yes, had to change the OS. Read about distros and choose Mint, very good looking. After installing Mint, installed some Steam games, everything ok. Went to install EmuDeck and everything went downhill. For some reason, the Steam Guide Button NEVER work in emulated games. The only thing aside emulation I want to do in that thing is recording games, and I can't open the Steam "Game Bar" thing anymore.

Tried installing Bazzite, Zorin, Nobara and ALL of them makes EmuDeck go into the same problem: when I open emulated games, the "Guide" button dies. Changed to Retrodeck and the problem got worse, because with Retrodeck even after changing controllers scheme, the emulators don't even recognize the gamepad anymore.

I'm using a Gamesir Nova Lite, with USB Dongle, and Steam recognizes it as Generic Xbox Controller or something like that. That Controller also have a way to make it play like a Nintendo Switch or Android controller, but when I change the controller mode, the emulators die completely.

What the hell I'm missing?

I wondered if there are any projects like JoyXoff on Linux. Before making the full jump into Linux gaming, I was using one of my gaming PCs as an HTPC specifically for games, I was using JoyXoff to manage controller mappings to KB/M. I know something like that exists indeed, but it could be cool to combine it with another project that provides a cool function from JoyXoff, and that's the virtual keyboard. Do you know any program/s to supply that need?

I was trying to play the binding of issac and my controller wasnt working and did nothing so iItried a input test and it said my controller worked fine but for some reason I was getting no input from the right stick as well as both of the back bumpers. I have already tried other bluetooth controllers they all have the same problem.

Has anybody figured out how to get Runelite working on SteamDeck via the official Steam game's launch options? I've been trying for a while now and there seems to be a lot of mixed responses online and I still haven't been able to get it working. I don't know much about Linux so this process is taking much longer then expected. I saw some ways to do it with standalone Runelite but I'm not able to log in unless I have a Launcher nowadays (that's why I'm using the Bolt Launcher). I was able to easily get this working on my Windows 11 PC with the launch options and using the Jagex Launcher but it doesn't seem to be that easy on Linux devices. If anybody knows anything about this or was able to get this to work for them please let me know🙏
